Thank you to Netgalley for a pre publication copy. In return for an honest review! #daughtersofcornwall #netgalley

Follow five generations of Blitho ladies whose lives span many decades and two world wars with multiple world changes in the middle.

Having read a previous book of Fern Britton and finding it ok. I wanted to delve into a different genre by Fern.

Ok book which shows you how times change and how people are effected by watwith nothing really happening no twists, turns or unexpected drama. Everything that happened had been hinted at before so nothing was a surprise. It did had great potential and plot line is there.

I found it very confusing with the multiple character changes per chapter. It wasn't until halfway through that I realised Caroline was in the present day going through her trunk. I think it would have been better for each of the generations to have their own part and the next one add onto the information from the part before or for it to really be present day and follow a true family tree that Caroline is completing.

This is a family saga set in wartime
The detail of the coastline in Cornwall is breathtaking
It is a story of mothers and daughters. A story of love
This is a great book

I enjoyed this book by Fern Britton. Set in Cornwall and over three different time lines, this is the story of Clara Carter and the Bolitho family. Through 1918, 1939 and post war we follow Clara and her family In 2020, Caroline unravels the secrets of the family history. A gentle family history which I would recommend.

Apologies for the delay in reviewing. Took a couple of attempts to get into the story.
Enjoyed the story - lots of historical details and family stories

A well written story about three strong women spanning from the early 20th century through to the present day in Cornwall. Telling their own story and hidden secrets along the way.

Only my second book by Fern Britton but again I really enjoyed it. The story is one of intrigue and longing. I enjoyed unravelling the stories of the multi generations and finding out about each woman in the family. Set against the Cornish backdrop you are transported to a totally different life and view. Heartache and history at its best.

Another great read from Fern Britton. She creates relatable characters and writes with a strong depth of feeling. Hugely enjoyable.

Thanks to netgalley for the chance to read this book.

A different kind of book to what I usually read. Struggled reading this due to it this and I couldn’t really connect with the characters. A good glimpse of life in the Far East and the experiences of the war.

I was extremely slow in reading this book, having read Fern's others, it didn't disappoint.

I am such a massive fan of her work.

This was a brilliant read and is being featured on my blog for my quick star reviews feature, which I have created on my blog so I can catch up with all the books I have read and therefore review.

I am always drawn to books about Cornwall and this family saga drew me in. Good characters and storyline spanning three generations of women with plenty of drama and history repeating itself to keep your interest

Loved it ! Have read the earlier ones and this was just as good!Looking forward to reading her next book.

Absolutely brilliant loved every page from start to finish the characters were very well written. This is my second book by this author will not be the last

A family saga with a little difference. It is all about the women, the mistakes they made, the secrets they kept, and how they keep repeating history. Starting before world war one and ending after World war two, the family circle keeps turning

I had heard mixed reviews about this book so I wasn’t too sure what to expect from it and I think it was ok. Not amazing but not terrible. It you like things set in the past you will like this book.

Thank you for the opportunity to read the latest Fern Britton book and my goodness what a different style has evolved, as this novel spans from 1918 to 1946 and then right up to date in 2020. We learn of Clara and Bertie's love for each other and the aspects of wartime Britain during the first World War, a bitter sweet love. Then the story switches to Hannah and her lack of support which ends up bringing her to another part of the country. Finally we meet Caroline who wants to find out the family secret which begins to reveal itself when a much travelled trunk arrives from Penang. I loved the way each of these strong women deal with their circumstances and how in the end the secret is revealed. Beautifully written, engaging the reader to the final page.

I have read a few of Fern Britton's books before and I have to say I was a little disappointed with this one. unlike previous books, this was a historical family saga that explored different generations of the Bolitho women.
Although it was well written with her usual emotive descriptions I found the book a bit long and a bit dull in parts. I didn't really feel that invested in the characters which is unusual.
Not bad but not her best.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy in exchange for an honest review.

I wasn't as keen on this book as Fern Britton's previous books, i just struggled to connect to the characters or story as much as I wanted to. I had higher hopes.

I was sent this book by Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Oh I just loved Daughters of Cornwall by Fern Britton and I was hooked from the first few pages. After holidaying in Cornwall this year the title drew me in and it was great to read her descriptions of the coastlines. A great holiday read that I finished in one sitting, I could not put it down.

Really enjoyable and easy to read book. Loved the way the past and present intertwined. Would recommend
